I have an original Toshiba Encore Atom tablet from the W8 days (now with W10) but that is very slow indeed and does not compete well with my Lumia. Hoping the Surface Go won't be too big for i.e. on the bus/at the bus stop, will also be great in hotels when travelling for work, and will be a performance upgrade from my Lumia. I fear it'll be slower than my Lumia and/or too bulky despite the low weight. Also, there could be other problems I'm not considering. Hoping people here with experience of making the switch now the Lumia line is heading for the door can give me the benefit of their experience.
I'm going to recommend the 3310 4g over the 8110 4g. 8110 is just not as well rounded according to reviews, slider is a bit fiddley, and shape isn't super pocket freindly. Both versions run the same software. I think only one has GPS tho?
A windows tablet and feature phone make a reasonable combo I think. I'd go that way if they had qwerty and a decent camera.
I dream of a month on standby, and dropping without palpitations. If you are somewhere with 'linked sims' you might consider the LTE version, so you don't have to bother with hotspot.
